People think that this is in order to hurt Russia, and it is, but it is also to disrupt the EU and keep them reliant on the US.
In the coming decades there will be a lot of blowback from the refugees displaced and spillover from the Nazis in Ukraine getting access to weapons and expertise they then bring back to their home nations. They will be used by the US to punish uncooperative regimes the same as ISIS adjacent orgs were used in Iraq and Syria, and everyone will pretend they could not have predicted this.
Exactly. And that's why this war has been successful for the US. They never needed or cared about Ukraine winning. They were going to meet the objectives they cared about.
I'd also add that the third objective here was to clear all the old munition stocks, and probide profit fir the MIC, since Afghanistan was shut down, but that kind if goes without saying
